FAA issues flight restrictions for Biden's hometown, as he edges closer to the presidency

05 Nov, 2020

On Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a flight advisory for presidential nominee Joe Biden's hometown of Wilmington Delaware, as he pushes closer to securing victory.

A flight advisory from the federal agency has urged all pilots, and drone operators to maintain a no fly zone within the perimeter of the area. Drone operators were warned that any unauthorized flights could lead to "damage or destruction of their property".

The FAA frequently implements no fly zones around major political events, including the 2016 Republican and Democratic conventions, and President Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017.

After securing two critical battleground states (Michigan and Wisconsin), Biden is poised to secure the necessary delegates to win the presidency.
